With the fast increased solid waste generation, waste-to-energy (WtE) plays an important role in a circular economy by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and generating energy in a sustainable waste management system. Solid waste and wet waste are a potential source of biofuels, biomass, and electricity. By applying WtE, substantial
As a matter of fact, land waste plastics are easily strayed into waterways and ultimately carried by ocean currents. A sea area of ~1.6 million km 2 between Hawaii and California earned the
The journal addresses the conversion of biomass, co-products, residues, and waste into energy and added-value materials within a global move towards a greener, more resource-efficient, and climate-resilient economy, and intends to play a meaningful role in the Energy and Environmental Transitions toward Sustainable Development in line with the
The use of energy from waste can be a key means of reducing the consumption of fossil fuels and thus reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Waste
This appendix provides examples of the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for generating power from municipal solid waste (MSW) via anaerobic digestion (AD), landfill gas (LFG)-to-energy, and mass incineration. The compilation of these data was performed over a very short time-period and should be viewed as provisional.

The purpose of the present review paper is to detail the discussion of evolution of waste to energy incineration and specifically to highlight the currently used and advanced incineration technologies, including combined incineration with other energy, for instance, hydrogen production, coal and solar energy. International Journal of
Waste-to-energy processes could constitute a way to recover energy from waste, helping the access to renewable energy to the world population, in addition to a waste management system. The present review describes different wastes that can be
In our study, we selected flue gas composition according to the mentioned findings. We selected simulated flue gas from waste-to-energy (WTE) plants as a source of CO 2 for cultivation. Used 10% vol. CO 2 concentration represents a typical CO 2 concentration that can be observed in the WTEP flue gas. At the same time, the selected
Energy recovery from waste, as being a crucial part of integrated sustainable waste management systems, will not only help shift the linear economies to circular economies and secure energy supply, but also significantly mitigate the waste-related severe environmental and human health issues. This Special Issue is designed to attract the latest
Waste Disposal & Sustainable Energy (WDSE) is an international multi-disciplinary journal focusing on low-carbon waste disposal/treatment and sustainable energy utilization,
The following journals are accepting a growing number of publications: Waste Management > Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis > Fuel > Energy And Fuels > Journal of Cleaner Production > Polymers > Science of The Total Environment > Journal of Hazardous Materials > ACS Sustainable Chemistry And Engineering >
1. Introduction. Social energy transition is one of the great current challenges [1] between the needs of citizens and the precarious health of eco-systems.To counter these phenomena, the action of policy makers is decisive [2], as in the absence of subsidies green energy projects may be unprofitable [3].Waste management if not
Adopting waste-to-energy system could leverage on the possibility of reducing the adverse environmental impact occasioned by waste generation and ensuring production of renewable and sustainable energy while achieving circular economy.

Special Issue Information. Dear Colleagues, Today''s diverse solid waste management plans, implemented internationally, include, reducing, recycling, reusing as much waste as practicable but what remains is either landfilled or combusted at waste-to-energy facilities. Electricity and/or steam are produced in modern waste-to-energy facilities

Waste—generated abundantly and expected only to increase along with the projected growth in global population—is a potential resource for energy production. Wet, solid, or gaseous wastes are a significant and underutilized set of feedstocks for renewable fuel and product generation. Discover below a curated selection of research from across
Waste-to-energy plants burn municipal solid waste (MSW), often called garbage or trash, to produce steam in a boiler, and the steam is used to power an electric generator turbine. MSW is a mixture of energy-rich materials such as paper, plastics, yard waste, and products made from wood. For every 100 pounds of MSW in the United States, about 85
Waste-to-energy (WtE) plants are pivotal for the circular economy and sustainable urban development. However, public acceptance is critical to their success,
Journal of Cleaner Production. Volume 359, 20 July 2022, 131897. Perspective review on Municipal Solid Waste-to-energy route: Characteristics, management strategy, and role in circular economy In the case of converting MSW to energy (Waste-to-Energy – W2E), its economic indicators, such as capital, compliance, and operation
The current annual generation of municipal solid waste in India is estimated to be around 42 million tones which will rise rapidly with population growth, urbanization and improving living standards of people. The municipal solid waste (MSW) generation ranges from 0.25 to 0.66 kg/person/day with an average of 0.45 kg/person/day.
The journal addresses the conversion of biomass, co-products, residues, and waste into energy and added-value materials within a global move towards a greener, more
Waste-to-energy (WTE) technologies include thermal, physical, biochemical, and bio-electrochemical technology. Pyrolysis, gasification, and incineration are thermal technology used to generate energy from waste in the form of heat and syn-gas. Anaerobic digestion and landfill are biochemical technology to to generate energy from
8.3 Conclusion. Waste-to-energy (WtE) technology is a promising method to eliminate the wastes while making use of it to generate electricity and valuable products. In this chapter, we reviewed the three main WtE processes which are incineration, gasification, and pyrolysis.

Waste to energy (WTE) technology converts waste into electricity instead of burning fossils, reducing GHG emissions. The US Energy Policy Act endorses
As can be seen, the most cited sources were Waste Management, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Review, Journal of Cleaner Production, Bioresource Technology, and Energy. It can be explained by the interest of the authors in publishing articles aiming to generate energy through sustainable alternatives.
Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area.
